Maroon & White Night provides an opportunity to meet up with colleagues to network, socialize and collaborate. Each month a different area on campus will be highlighted to share their impact and potentially inspire cross-campus collaboration. This month's Maroon & White Night Spotlight highlights Sponsored Research Services (SRS), part of the Division of Research. SRS partners with faculty and research teams by providing comprehensive pre-award and post-award administration services—from proposal development and budget preparation to award negotiation, compliance oversight, and project closeout. Their mission is to reduce administrative burden and help researchers focus on advancing discovery. Sponsored Research Services (SRS) invites you to join them for After Hours at The Owl on Friday, September 19th at 6 p.m. in downtown Bryan. Enjoy swag prizes, connect with colleagues, and learn more about the services SRS provides to support the research community and the Division of Research—all while meeting the team behind the work. Appetizers and the first round of drinks are complimentary for SRS and Division of Research employees—just bring your TAMU ID for additional discounts. Also included in the evening is tabling near the Palace Theater from TedXTAMU and a variety of SECC charity groups. And don't forget to swing by Blackwater Draw Brewing Company for a creative evening with the University Art Galleries! We'll be hanging out for the night, offering free mini canvases for you to paint while enjoying your favorite drink. Plus, grab some cool vinyl stickers to take home.  The event is FREE to attend and FREE PARKING is provided in the Roy Kelly Parking Garage. Many businesses are offering incentives and discounts.

Exhibition on Display: July 31–Aug. 25, 2025Summer Hours | May 13–Aug. 25, 2025Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–5:30 p.m.; Sat. Noon–6 p.m; Closed Sun.–Mon.Regular Hours | Beginning Aug. 26, 2025Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m; Closed Mon. Comprised of lithographs, woodcuts and etchings, this exhibition brings together powerful works that reflect the vital role artists played—and continue to play—in shaping the public consciousness of war and memory. These prints serve as both documentary records and poetic interpretations, capturing not only the devastation and resilience of people and places but also the emotional landscape of a world transformed by conflict. Drawing on Francis Brennan's 1942 call that the American people needed their artists "to charge them with the grave responsibility of spelling out their anger, their grief, their greatness and their justice," the exhibition honors those who responded through the enduring medium of printmaking—bearing witness, telling stories that history books cannot and offering deeply personal visions of collective experience.
